I can't stop thinking of the end of this episode and feeling ill. I'm officially done with the show.

The problem is, there's no one to sympathize with. Last season, we could sympathize with any one of the Harmons. But there's no "normal" people in this situation. Perhaps Lana Winters comes close, but when she turned on Kit, she lost the respect of the audience. And her situation is also a bit too extreme to relate to. It might have been better if she had stayed outside of the institution for awhile, and we got to witness her life, and the strangeness that ensued from writing the story.

I feel like we're supposed to identify with Sister Jude, as she figures out what's going on with the doctor. But she's been too cruel herself for us to really care.

So Kit is likable, but again, not easy to relate to because he isn't seeing things clearly and....he has an alien implant. They went and made his situation too extreme, as well. He has no grounding, and so we're left watching all this mishegos without any grounding, either. (that means craziness in Yiddish.)

I like the Anne Frank storyline. I don't object to aliens. But they needed to give us someone to root for that made us feel like we were rooting for ourselves, and they failed. So I'd consider this season a nice try, but if I weren't so in love with last season, I'd probably stop watching. I hope that there are future seasons, though.

i don't know; i'm not having trouble rooting for any of the inmates. i don't relate to them, necessarily, but i know they're getting the short end of the stick. maybe it's more that i'm rooting against the people i don't like with so much enthusiasm.

the last episode was harder to watch than any other for me. the aversion therapy might not have worked for lana, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to throw up now any time i hear the word "tumescence." *splarf*

i hope zachary quinto turns out to be bloody face. i'd like to see him slice into one more head, for old times' sake.

definitely. for the first 45 minutes, i was like... this isn't so gory tonight. and then everything went bananas at the end. which is cool, but i liked that we had some more dialogue and less sexing and stabbing.

Thoughts on the newest episode? I think it was hard to try to top last weeks episode (which is didn't).

I was actually kind of content to just stop watching this season until I heard the last few episodes were great. I wasn't disappointed! I was hugely into Ed Gein in high school, so I'm enjoying the heavy references. Also nice Mary Bell reference with the little girl/scissors. All the crazy this season is working for me now
